GRIMES

“Grimes has one of the most impressive albums of the year so far.” – The New York Times
“GRIMES is blessed with the ability to shape-shift from Mariah Carey-like five-octave warbler to growly doom-monger in the blink of an eye.” –NME“…alien love-child of Aphex Twin and ABBA”– Tastemaker Magazine“…fascinating and healthily progressive music…”– BBC

Toronto native Claire Boucher, who goes by the moniker GRIMES, creates eccentric pop music for the digital age. Though she has been compared to Aphex Twin, ABBA, Enya, and Bjork, it is impossible to put her music into one genre. What she created for her 3rd Album Visions (4AD) is dancey and fun as much as it shows experimentation. Grimes is not afraid to experiment and draw upon vastly different influences, resulting in each track being distinct from the next in mood and tone. Consistent throughout the album are beats that urge the listener to move, and Grimes’ haunting vocals that are layered upon each other to create a mystical sound and feel. GRIMESsaid that she drew inspiration for the album from the Cocteau Twins, Mariah Carey, medieval music, hip hop and K-pop.

For how accomplished and critically-acclaimed GRIMESis as an artist, it is hard to believe she only began creating music 2 years ago. She already has a clear vision for her music and aesthetics. As a hands-on artist, she takes complete control when it comes to music production, album artwork, and directing her music videos. To complete her latest album she deprived herself of sleep and human interaction, locking herself away in her room in Montreal for multiple days at a time. Though this method was rough, it resulted in 13 tracks of intriguing sythpop that has earned Grimes a spot on Pitchfork Media’s Best New Music category.

GRIMES’ live show is sonically and visually appealing, with infectious beats, dancers, and improvisation. Don’t miss her live concert in Korea, where she will be appearing with her NEW setup of a FULL BAND. She is playing Rolling Hall on March 23rd.
